♥ Your approach to blue sway: Basically everything possible....all the supplements, eating the boy foods diet, upping sodium and potassium, cutting out as much dairy, magnesium, and calcium as possible. No cardio, weight lifting. We're also doing one of the high tech at home methods---MSU. Our attempts are going well...seeing lots of sperm and almost all XY after sorting. I'm older---35, so it may not be helping to limit sperm availability overall.

Welcome!! Your details have been added =)

False alarm, no doubt about it af this morning. ugh I hate my body and it's perpetual need to screw with me

So sorry Jen, big hugs xxx

Ttc5, i have to admit i am with the others when it comes to pinpointing o , i too just rely on cm and opk. I often think back to atomics article on swaying the "kitchen sink" way or the "mellow yellow" etc. There is just soooooo much to address when swaying and decided that i' d skip on the temping thing. Hopefully it sorts itself out soon , but you are not trying for a few months is that correct?

3pnb, wow that could be promising! Hopefully it is just a bean making itself nice and comfy in there! Is it my imagination or is there a high number of swayers that get spotting? I wonder if it is indeed an increase and if it is due to hormone levels or something??

We try in around 1-2 cycles away!! EEK it is soooo close now!!! I wonder.. the last 2 nights my temps rose, we had 2 kids in the bed with us lol perhaps that made my temps higher?? Today, no kids and temp back down low again?? But why would I not be o'ing by now??????

[skrimpy]

Lola and skrimpy, (((hugs))). This all sucks, I wish we could just order our babies up but then again, I wouldn't have ordered my last two little guys so maybe that's all for the best!

I know what you mean - I sometimes wish I could just pick with certainty for every one of them, and all the gals wanting pink get what they want - but then I know that I adore each of my kids for who they are and wouldn't trade them for the world!

Hi to all the new gals - I've been MIA a couple days b/c I was filling up my freezer before our pink bean arrives

TTC5 I don't think you've O'd yet! What a weird temp jump! Not being nosy, but did you have a glass of wine or cocktail the night before those two temp jumps? That can make some women have a higher temp the next morning.

WMB - yay on your hubby saying yes to another!

3PNB - so sorry about AF showing her ugly face Hopefully next month you get a sticky blue bean!

Oh man 3PNB, I know you're used to that BFP month #1 so this has got to be extra hard for you :-( I'm already trying to prep myself NOT to expect a BFP month 1 just b/c I've had it 2x before (well...#1 was while I was on BCP) ... but it is hard. I know I'll be shocked to find I don't fall pg quickly if that is the case, and I am sure you're wondering WTH is going on. One would think boy-swaying would make us MORE likely to get pg due to it being full of "healthy" things, but man, it seems like it messes with us girl-moms who usually get pg easily.

Well ladies I bought NYF today and double-yuck! I don't like them at all; I adore v8 hot and spicy (funny, b/c pre boy-sway I would NEVER have had a drink with calories in it!) so dumped them in there and managed to chug it down. Bleck. DH is out of town tonight and I never sleep well with him gone so I am chugging beer to hopefully ease my nerves, and maybe that beer yeast will be good?!?! LOL. I have several months (unless we get all crazy spontaneous ... ) til we try, so I'm not too crazy about it now. If we manage to wait 'til fall I will likely be pretty good on the diet 6 weeks prior. But now? Now I focus on upping the good, and just try to make the "bad" an infrequent occurence. Like the ice cream tonight ;-) At least it was full fat...

Oh hey, so on the TW theory business, WTH with Rachel ... oh goodness what is her last name, fashion lady ... Rachel ZOE! Rachel Zoe having a boy?!? I mean have you seen her?!? She looks like she hasn't had any fat in her diet since 1976. But the exception proves the rule I suppose ... or so they say.

Hi ladies
to all the newbies!!!!

3PNB sorry about Af stupid witch!!

TTC5 cant believe how quick its come around only a few more cycles to go
AFM........ ( sorry need to vent ive also posted this to my blog in BH)
What a s***y day . i went to the doc today and told her its been 7+ months TTC and i have a 10day LP i asked if she could recommend anything to lengthen it and she said no i asked about progesterone cream and she said no its only for ppl who have low levels it does not help with TTC, she didnt know anything about LP she didnt even know what it was, i felt like a fool for talking about it. she tried to tell me that once the sperm meets the egg you are pregnant!! i said no the fertilized egg needs to implant into the uterus lining and then you are pregnant and that takes 7-10 days therefore if my LP is short there isnt enough time for it to implant even if an egg has fertilized!
i mangaed to get a blood test and had that done today but she just refused everything else telling me i was young (im 25) that it will happen and that ive got 2 other children and it will happen soon.and tried to tell me that once ive Ovulated that the sperm need to be in close range for it to happened.... Well DURRRR ( i wonder how she became a doctor, she had no idea about what i was asking of her) i asked about pre seed once again- No F***ing idea what i was on about, i dont even know if i can get that in Australia? im wondering if can i get the progesterone cream from the chemist without a prescription? i wont be going back to her again!!!!!
i feel like im in a rut as my AF has stopped today and im trying to get everything ready for my next O day..Ive still got to go and get some Vit B6 and maybe some vit D as well, i sleep in a dark room as suggested by others, im just hoping that for the cycle my LP was 10 days and this cycle i will O on cd14 and not cd17 or cd18 =(
Still charting my temp and taking fish oil and folic acid, looking into other supps vit b6 vit d

Yep I've always been a first month girl, even with my sway baby last Aug I got preg 1st time with a 1 time bd on O. This sucks a lot extra because of that.
